The first real shot has been fired in the great billboard war.
Springfield zoners last night turned thumbs down on a request to erect the monster billboards on several sites along Baltimore Pike.
You can read our full story on the meeting here.
The vote was not unexpected. Neither will be the response by the Bartkowski Investment Group. They likely will take the township to court.
And so the lawyers will continue to feast on this zoning issue. Last Sunday we reported that Delco towns had already spent more than $360,000 to keep the billboards out of their towns.
Expect that figure to go higher.
And expect something else, too, something the townships already know.
They must make some type of accommodation for these billboards somewhere in their towns. The courts have ruled that you can’t just ban them altogether.
See you in court.
